You Slipped Away

You stayed a while

And pulled my world apart

There was love in my heart

And I wanted it to stay

But as the night surely turns to day

You slipped away

It was my guess

That I would make a mess

There was love in my heart

Though you needed a rest

Just like the sun hiding from the shade

You slipped away

I used to think

That I could stand up straight

If there was love in my heart

But now I just can't relate

So like a dream fading through the day

You slipped away

So here I sit

Smoking my last cigarette

With this love in my heart

That I just can't regret

So I think I might have a drink

And slip away
